Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 491 Opening the Imperial Examination (Two in One)

Left Habayashi Guard Camp.

A young man rushed to the school grounds and shouted loudly: "Brother Huang, people from Yanzhou and Beizhou are here!"

"Oh? It's here so soon! Come on, let's take a look!"

Huang Shan, who was struggling in the tent, threw the stone lock on the ground and said to the boy.

After walking a few steps, another soldier came to tell Huang Bing to gather at the school grounds.

Huang Shan could only turn around and go to the school grounds.

Not long after Huang Bing arrived at the school grounds, the [-] disciples from Jizhou had lined up neatly.

Originally there were sixteen people, because Dingxiang County was massacred by Han Meng, the county magistrate committed suicide, and the county lieutenant died in battle, so Liu De ordered the two sons to join the army, but unfortunately, although the son of the Dingxiang County lieutenant escaped Tucheng, but was seriously ill in bed due to excessive shock, Liu De could only give gold and silver to commend his father's loyalty and bravery.

The son of the county magistrate then joined the Qimen Army as Qimen Lang.

His name is Simon Leopard.

Because of Ximen Leopard's father's righteous deed, Huang Bing and others were also friendly to Ximen Leopard, so no one dared to bully him.

Then, a total of 34 people from Yanzhou and Beizhou also arrived at the school grounds. Although the number of people was small, the array was neat. (Practice) guide (practice).

As Lang Zhongling, as the nominal leader of the Qimen Army, Yan Nan once again stood on the wooden platform at the front of the school field, speaking very briefly.

"From now on, you will be Paoze. When you go to the battlefield, you will be able to show your back to the opponent with peace of mind. Of course, because you are from the three states, you may not be familiar with it, but from now on, you will be together Live in this barracks, and take turns going to the government office of the Han government to guard."

Yan Nan paused, and continued: "You are all about the same age, so you must get to know each other very soon. In a few days, His Highness will come to visit you in person, and at that time, this general will also select three of you. There are two people who serve as Qimen Ling and Qimencheng. One is the head, and the other two are the deputy. I hope Er and others will perform well, and don't let His Highness down!"

After Yan Nan finished speaking, he said to Hu Cheng who was beside him: "Put everyone in order, and start training as usual from tomorrow!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Hu Cheng cupped his hands.

The camp of the Qimen Army was placed in the Zuo Yulin Guard camp, and they usually trained together with the Zuo Yulin Guard soldiers.

A young man who claimed to be an inquiring agent came back from another camp in a short while, and he went to inquire about information about Yan and Beizhou.

"Brother Huang, Brother Chen, Brother Xu, Big Brother Zhang, Second Brother Zhang, the younger brother has already found out the situation of the personnel in Yan and Beizhou!"

The boy said to Huang Bing and the other five.

Although Qi Menlang in Jizhou is divided into three factions, but now that the "enemy" is present, for this Bao inquirer, of course he must fight against the enemy, and must not lose the face of the soldiers of Jizhou. It was taken by Jizhou people!
But in fact, in detail, Xu Yong, Zhang Weiguo, and Zhang Anguo's hometown is Yanzhou, Chen Qingzhi's hometown is Danzhou, and only Huang Bing is a pure Jizhou native.

But none of that matters anymore.

"Where did you go to find out?" Huang Bing asked.

The young man said: "I asked the guards of Habayashi who escorted them. Is there someone I know?"

"Who are the powerful people in there?" Ma Yi asked in the corner of the tent.

All the teenagers also turned their heads and looked at this Bao inquiring. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles!

The boy said: "There is a man in Beizhou whose martial arts are quite praised by the soldiers, and some even say that he is even better than Brother Xu!"

"Worse than Brother Xu?"

Huang Bing said in amazement, although Huang Bing was quite confident in his own martial arts, but in the sparring with everyone, he lost to Xu Yong many times, Huang Bing was convinced. Sitting firmly on the throne of number one, even many adults can't compare with Xu Yong, but now he heard that someone's martial arts is better than Xu Yong, Huang Bing is a little unbelievable.

"What's that man's name?"

"It's [Zhang Liao], and he's only 15 years old!" Bao asked.

"Zhang Liao? Is he a child of an aristocratic family?"

"No, his family can only be regarded as a small family in Beizhou, and his father is just an official in the county!"

Xu Yong said at this time: "Then I want to compete with him!"

After all, Xu Yong certainly wouldn't admit that he was a young man with a young heart. The level of force is not just a matter of words, you can only know it after fighting.

"Then are there any other powerful people in Beizhou?" Cheng Yan asked.

Bao inquired and shook his head, "This is the only one who is outstanding in Beizhou!"

"What about Yanzhou?"

"There are quite a few talented people in Yanzhou!"

Bao inquired excitedly and said: "There is a man named [Zhou Bo], who is a member of Zuo Wuwei Zuo General Zhou Daguo's family. It is said that he has the ability to lead the army and his martial arts is also good!"

"There is another person called [Miao Zhi], who is the second son of Zuo Weiwei Zuo General Miao Zhou, and he is also quite brave!"

"There is another person from Dongfu's Kong clan, named [Kong Qingdong], who is also quite brave."

"Then there is [Cao Shen], who is also an official of Yanzhou. This person is not only brave, but also has a good eye for government affairs! He is often praised by General Zheng (Zheng Fu)!"

"Everyone in Yanzhou is headed by these four people."

Huang Bing was shirtless, raised the stone lock, and said to everyone: "It seems that our main opponents are these people!"

Regardless of what happened in Yulin Weizhong, Liu De met Xu Guangqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Xu Hai, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, in the government office.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, our Ministry of Industry has worked together to create a blank paper!"

Xu Guangqi said, and presented Liu De with a stack of cut-out white paper.

Liu De took the white paper, but it was as white as jade, with smooth sides, almost the same as the white paper in his original time and space.

Liu De was overjoyed, and said to the two, "This is exactly the blank paper Gu wanted!"

Xu Guangqi bowed slightly, and reported to Liu De: "When this white paper was produced, the ministers were also stunned. I didn't expect that such a strange thing could be made from bark, bamboo, and hemp. Your Highness is really God and man! With this blank sheet of paper, Your Highness will be able to control the hearts of the scholars in the world!"

Liu De caressed the white paper, and said to the two of them: "I'm just making a suggestion. The Ministry of Industry will do the work. All craftsmen and officials who participate in the making of the white paper will be rewarded. Both of you will be promoted by half a rank. For Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, I am rewarding 500 taels of gold to honor the merits of papermaking!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Xu Guangqi and Xu Hai quickly knelt down and said thank you.

"Get up!"

Liu De continued: "The Ministry of Industry re-established a department dedicated to making paper and kept it strictly confidential. The selected craftsmen must come from clean backgrounds and their family members must be in Beiping. This white paper will be one of our powerful tools for unifying the world! "

"The minister takes orders!"

Xu Guangqi clapped his hands and said yes, and then asked: "Your Highness, this... I don't know what the other sharp weapon is?"

"This is it!"

Liu De took out a small cube-shaped object from his arms and handed it to the two of them.

"Is this a mold?"

Xu Hai took the small wooden block in his hand and said in surprise: "There are words on it!"

There is a "Liu" character on the small wooden block, which was carved by Liu De himself.

Liu De stood up and said to the two: "Although paper is convenient, copying is also time-consuming and laborious. It may take several months to copy a book. It is not much faster than bamboo slips. The main reason is that it is light and cheap. It is important for cultivating talents and promoting education. It's not enough!"

"But with this little thing it's different!"

Liu De held the small wooden block in his hand and said: "With it, the time for copying can be greatly saved. It may take time and effort to copy one copy or two copies, but what about a hundred copies or a thousand copies?"

What Liu De was talking about was movable type printing. Because woodblock printing has defects, such as time-consuming and material-consuming engraving, hard to store, and difficult to correct typos, Liu De directly used movable type printing.

Liu De introduced the production method and application of movable type printing to the two in detail, and Xu Guangqi and Xu Guangqi's eyes sparkled.

Xu Hai's voice trembled a little, "Your Highness, this is really unimaginable. Printing plus papermaking is really a powerful weapon to unify the world!"

"However, the wooden mold is easily deformed when exposed to water. The Ministry of Industry must find a suitable replacement as soon as possible, and then print books that are widely circulated in the market, and present them to Gu to read!"

"About printing, the Ministry of Industry has to set up a new department, just like papermaking, and keep it strictly confidential. If it gets out, you two will be punished!" Liu De added at the end.

"I will obey your orders!"

Xu Guangqi said awe-inspiringly.

At this time, Huwei reported to Liu De: "Guozijian Jijiu Bailixi, the Hanlin Academy Jijiu Jizhi is asking to see him!"

"This blank paper is just for Baili Aiqing and Xi Aiqing to take a look at!" Liu De smiled while holding up the blank paper in his hand.

When the two of Bailixi came in, they were indeed directly attracted by the white paper in Liu De's hands. They held the white paper in their palms and kept flipping through it. Listening to Liu De's introduction to the white paper, Bailixi said Muttered: "Sharp weapon, sharp weapon!"

"I don't know what happened to the two lovers?"

Liu De looked at the two people who were dazed, and could only interrupt.

Only then did the two come to their senses, and Baili Xi bowed and said, "I have been serving as the Imperial Academy for several months, and the academies in all states have been completed, but the academies in counties and counties are still far away. The old minister is really ashamed!"

Liu De comforted: "Don't do this to Baili Aiqing. This college was first established, and there was no such precedent before. It can be said that it is a waste of time. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Cultivating talents is a long-term plan. , we have to keep our feet on the ground, take one step at a time, and don't be impatient, so that we can accomplish things!"

"Ten years to grow trees, a hundred years to grow people!"

"Ten years to grow a tree, a hundred years to grow a person"

Baili Xi and the others kept chewing on Liu De's words, which immediately made Baili Xi understand a lot, and then bowed and said: "Your Highness is knowledgeable, this education is true, I should do my best, and swear to fulfill His Highness's great wish! "

"it is good!"

Liu De pulled Baili Xi up with his own hands, grabbed Baili Xi's hand and asked, "Come, tell Gu about the construction of the State Capital College!"

Bailixi said: "Yanzhou College has been managed by opera and wine, and both masters and students are ready. However, the large framework of Jizhou and Beizhou Colleges has been established, but the number of masters is insufficient, and there are no teachers in the hands of veterans. It is suitable for the candidate to be the head of the mountain, but there are quite a lot of students applying for it."

The head of the mountain is the principal, and it can also be called Jijiu, but the name of Jijiu is the same, but the status is very different.

"As for the appointment of the head of the college, Gu also doesn't have a good candidate."

Liu De also didn't have a candidate for the head of the mountain who was highly respected, so he could only suggest to Baili Xi: "There are several great Confucian scholars in Jizhou who are quite famous. Baili Aiqing can recruit them to the academy. As far as the country is concerned, there is no harm at all!"

"The old minister understands!"

Later, Liu De and Bailixi discussed some issues about the construction of county colleges.

Xi Zhicai's health is still not very good, and he can obviously see some sickness, Liu De can't help but ask concerned: "Have you ever gone to see Doctor An and Doctor Hua for diagnosis and treatment?"

"I've been busy preparing to build the Imperial Academy these days, but I don't have time to go there!" Xi Zhicai said.

Liu De scolded: "Today you must ask them to give you a diagnosis and treatment. Your body is already sick. What can you do if you don't take good care of it? Moreover, there are many things in the Imperial Academy, and most of them require you to do it yourself, which consumes more energy. If you don't treat yourself well, don't blame me for treating you mercilessly and dismissing you from your position!"

"Yes, I will go to Doctor Hua and the others today!"

Seeing Liu De's resoluteness, Xi Zhi had no choice but to agree.

"What's your business here today? It's nothing, just go to An Daoquan, Hua Tuo and the others!" Liu De urged.

Xi Zhi realized that this was Liu De's kindness, so he grinned and said to Liu De, "His Royal Highness, the Hanlin Academy is the highest institution in the Han Dynasty, and it only recruits scholars who have achieved rankings in the imperial examinations. The imperial examination has not been held, and the Imperial Academy has nothing to do, so I discussed with Master Baili whether a scientific examination can be held."

Liu De caressed the stubble under his chin, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It is indeed time to hold an imperial examination. Now the Han State is victorious in military affairs. First defeat Li Wei, and then destroy Yang Zhao. Don't dare to go south to herd horses, and you can't miss this paperwork. In this way, the two of you will come up with a plan, and when the court discusses, the imperial examination will be finalized. The two of you will first prepare everything needed for the imperial examination. It can be later, but we must ensure that there are no mistakes in the imperial examination!"

Baili Xi and Xi Zhicai bowed and said yes.

Liu De pointed to the white paper and said: "The imperial examination is not limited to us Han, it can be placed in the whole Dazhou. This white paper will be the most important way to show the prosperity of our Han literature, and it will be spread by scholars all over the world. Propagating us big men, cultural victories are sometimes more brilliant than military victories!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

All the officials in the hall paid homage to Liu De.

Although Liu De is complacent, he still hides it well. After all, he has the memory of his previous life. Liu De knows that now is not the time for him to be complacent.

Liu De said to Xu Guangqi: "You strive to print a book at the next court meeting for all officials to read!"

Xu Guangqi took the order, and he and Xu Hai withdrew from the hall, and went to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry to convene the ministers and workers of the Ministry of Industry to discuss matters.

Xi Zhicai raised his own question: "What if there are enemy spies here?"

"The Gongwei Division and the Xuanjing Division are not vegetarians. What's more, even if there are spies, the spies are probably people who have read poetry and books. How can they not surrender when they see the white paper and the exact same words?"

In fact, Liu De just believed in his own special skills.

Special Skill: Eyesight

Can detect other people's attributes and loyalty!
